Notes
Oh man this adventure has a lot of triggers for me. I remember hypothermia. I don't like that feeling. It makes me feel crazy. Not gonna stop reading this just because of that, though. Immersion level ++.
Yikes! I'm sorry to hear that. That sounds very unpleasant.
If it really makes you uncomfortable, I could PM you when the hypothermia stuff is over.
